If you are not registred yet, you can register in the open classes the day of the event at the competittion area.

Attention - vegetation changes

In the last few weeks, the National Forestry Authority has been felling trees and cutting other vegetation, and this has caused inevitable changes to the terrain. These are, of course, not the responsibility of the event organisation. There will thus be some extra paths made by the foresters and some small changes to the vegetation which have occurred too late to be shown on the map.
In the section Maps and Terrain an image of the competition area is shown with the affected area represented.

Please accept our apologies. We hope your race is not affected by these changes.
